Punch and Judy has always been
great favorite with the young
folks land old ones too) and for
their benefit we give their history,
clipped from one of our papers.
THE STORY OF PUNCH AND JUDY.
The romantic story of Punch
and Judy is in its original form is as
follows: Mr.. Punch. a gentleman
of great personal attraction. is
married to Miss Judy, by whom
he has a lovely daughter. To the
baby no name is given in the
piece. the infant being too young
to be chrstened. In fit of horrid
and demonaic jealousy, Mr.. Punch,
like a second Zeluco, strangles his
beautiful offspring. Just as he
completed his dreadful purpose
Mrs. Judy enters, witnesses his
dreadful havoc, and exits scream
ing; she soon returns. however,
armed with a bludgeon. and applies
it to her husbands head, (Which
to the wood returns a wooden
sound" EXasperated by jealousy
and rage, Mr.. Punch siezes another
bludgeon and lays her PROSTATE at
his feet; then, Selling the murdered
infant and expiring mother, he
filings them both out of the window
into the street.
The dead bodies having been
found, police officers enter the
dwelling Of MIR. Punch, who flies
for his life, mounts his steed, and
the author neglecting. like other
great poets, the combining unities
Of time and space, conveys his
hero into Spain, where, however,
he is arrested by an officer Of the
terrible Inquisition. After endur-
ing the most horrible tortures with
most incredible fortitude, Mr..
Punch, by means of golden key
"a beautiful and novel allegory)
opens his prison door and escapes.
The conclusion Of the affecting
story is satirical, poetical and allie
gorical. The hero is first over
taken by WEAKNESS and laziness. in
the shape Of a black dog, whom
he fights and conquers; disease, in
the guise Of a physician, next ar
rests him, but "Punch sees through
the thin pretense, and dismisses
the doctor with a few derogatory
kicks. Death at last visits the flu
gitive, but Punch lays about his
carcass so Justify and makes the
bones of his antagonist rattle so
unsteady that
"Death his deaths blow then received"

a NOVEL LAMP.
An Invention Combining the Advantages
of Both Gas and Electricity.

An Invention Combining the Advantages
OF Both Gas and Electricity.
A novel lamp, which seems to COM
bine in a measure the advantages of
both gas and electricity. was invented
some months ago by DIR. Auer Won
WelsDach, of Vienna. Its construction
; is very simple, consisting of common
Bunsen gas-lamp, in which is burnt
mixture of gas and air. This produces
a very hot non-luminous flame; but, by
introducing into 1t sort of network of
mineral matter, it becomes incandes-
cent, giving bluish-white light, which
is perfectly steady and free from smoke.
The composition of this incandescent
network is in part secret, but the in
ventor claims that lis prepared by soak
ing piece of coarsely woven cloth in
solution of the salts of chromium, Ian
thanum and yttrium. When this cloth
is exposed to the flame all the organic
matter is consumed, leaving the oxides
of the above mentioned metals, which
preserve the original form of the
cloth. These, when heated, shine with
brilliant light, similar 10 the familiar
calcium light, though less powerful.
The network tubes-or hoods, as the
inventor calls them, only cost about
cent apiece, and will last for a thou
sand hours. 1t is claimed that the
amount of gas burned is diminished
one-half, with the same light-giving
power, but practical trials will be
needed to determine this. If the COM
position of the incandescent "hoods"
has been given correctly by the in
ventor, an important practical use
will have been found for some rare
metals, which have hitherto been only
of theoretical interest.-POpuIar Science

BABY APACHES.
The Rough Treatment They Receive at the
Hands of Their Parents.

Hands of Their Parents.
Leaning against wagons and build
ings are dozens of little baskets with
baby Apaches sucking their fists there
in. The baskets are of the regular In
dian style, and the poor babies are
strapped and laced into them tight and
snug, nothing showing but the round
chubby face and two tiny fists. Some
squaws hang their baskets to the sad
dle-horn, because if they are left stand
ing on the ground the dogs 60 round
and lick the babies faces, much to the
little ones discomfort. One rather
frisky pony, with baby on the horn
of his saddle, wanders from the bunch,
and is Immediately surrounded by a
crowd of dogs. Their barking starts
him to trot, and with a shrek the
mother rushes from her place in the
line to catch him. But the pony doesn't
want to be caught, and from a trot
turns to a run, and away he goes-the
basket, tapping on his side, only max
ing him run the harder. No one seems
to be sorry for the poor baby, whose
yells are drowned in the general burst
of laughter that goes up. Finally the
strap that holds the basket breaks
down comes poor baby, thump, to the
ground, face down, and the pony, after
running a few rods, is caught by boy;
while the distracted mother picks up
her unfortunate infant, and Immediate
ly unlacing the deerskin cover, takes it
out to assure herself it is sound in body

MUSIC AND ANIMALS.

The Effect of the Trumpet's Sound Upon
the Well-Trained War-Horse.
Animals of the same species vary in
their musical gift, as they do in other
points. Some animals are very fond of
music and greatly affected by it, while
others are insensible or quite adverse
to it; of the former the horse has al
ready in remote antiquity been men,
toned for its joy at the sound of the
trumpet, as we read in the book of Job
(xXXix. 25). Shakespeare also says in
his Merchant of Venice:
For do but note a wild and wanton herd,
Or race Of youthful and unhandled colts,
Fetching mad bounds, believing and neighing
loud,
Which is the hot condition Of their blood;
If they but hear perchance trumpet sound,
Or any air OF music touch their ears.
You shall perceive them make a'mutual stand,
Their savage eyes turned to a modest gaze,
By the sweet power Of music
A touching proof of this old truth
was given in the late Franco German
war, when, in the evening after the
battle of Gravelotte, on the trumpet
signal for the roll-call of the Life
Guards, more than three hundred rider
less horses, some of them wounded and
hobbling on three legs. answered the
well-known sounds and mustered with
the remnant of their regiment.

spring the males perch on a tree oppo-
site the hens and sing their best one

There was no matinee on hand for Ray
mond. so he was smuggied into the scene
of banquet, the guests being all seated
about the table when the hostess, Miss
Forsythe. comes on. When she did come
on there was the smiling countenance of
